C., is one of the most suc- essful truck farmers in North Car olina. lie has made a fortune in the last few years raising strawber ries. One season he had thirty acres in sti’awberries, for which he receiv ed, after deducting freight and com missions, over $14,000. The cost of cultivating, picking; handling, etc., was something over $3,000, leaving nearly $11,000 clear profit on the thiVty acres, an average of about $350 an acre. He experimented with a fr4ct of an acre and « quarter to see if the most careful and elaborate and expensive culti vation that could be reasonably given would produce ^results suffi ciently great to justify the extra care and cost. From this acre and a quarter he sold strawberries to.^the value of more than $1,000, after de ducting freight ^nd commissions. The total cost of cultivating and handling was aboat $200, leaving a net profit of $800, or at the rate of $600 per ac^e.
